Frequently Asked Questions

Insurance companies often dictate the length of sessions and the type of treatment allowed. By remaining out-of-network, I can offer longer, more comprehensive appointments and a treatment plan based on your needs, not a corporation’s policy

We provide you with a medical receipt called a Superbill upon request. You submit this to your insurance app, and they mail you a check for the reimbursement amount defined in your plan.

I provide both. As an integrative practitioner, I don’t believe in the ‘15-minute med check.’ Even my medication-focused appointements include supportive therapy, coaching, and lifestyle work.

For patients who want dedicated weekly or bi-weekly psychotherapy, I can provide that directly, or I am more than happy to partner with your existing therapist to coordinate your care.

This is a 20-minute chemistry check. We will discuss what you are struggling with and see if our practice is the right place for you. No medical advice is given, and there’s no pressure to book another appointment.

If medically appropriate, I can prescribe controlled substances as part of a holistic treatment plan.

Unlike traditional psychiatry which focuses solely on medication, we look at lifestyle, nutrition, supplements, and therapy to treat the whole person.

We offer both. We have a welcoming office in Sacramento for local patients, and secure video visits for anyone in Northern California.

I believe in transparency. The full fee schedule lives on the Services page, with rates for the initial consultation, medication management, and combined therapy + medication visits. KAP cycles are quoted based on the specific protocol your case calls for; I walk through the full cost in your initial consultation before any commitment. Blue Jay Psychiatry is cash-pay; on request I provide a Superbill so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement (most patients with a PPO plan recover 50–80% of the visit fee depending on plan and deductible).

Yes. I deliver KAP either as the sole provider, handling prescribing, medication management, and the psychotherapy work together, or in collaboration with a therapist you already work with, where I handle the medical side and your therapist runs the therapy. Full details on the KAP page.

KAP is most often used for treatment-resistant depression, complex anxiety, and trauma-linked symptoms that haven't moved with conventional medications. Whether it's the right tool for your case depends on your medical history, your current medications, and the shape of what you're navigating. Candidacy is determined in the initial 60-minute consultation. If I don't think KAP is the right approach for you, I'll say so directly and we'll talk through what might fit better.
